Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 17913246 |
| Year | 2007 |
| Title | Genetic association analysis of the interleukin 7 gene (IL7) in multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | We conclude that the IL7 gene is very unlikely to influence the genetic susceptibility to MS in this population. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | IL7 is a nonredundant cytokine, essential for T cell survival and development in humans. |
